I absolutely don't see it that way! My interest for calculators goes back to my school days and this forum has always been the one/only/best calculator forum on the internet, originally with a clear focus on the "museum" side, therefore very much appealing to collectors and admirers of classic calculators. So I have been around here since the day I got private internet access, sometimes in the early 1990ies (the joining dates in the user profiles only show the transition from old to new forum).

Over the years - no: decades! - the topics and discussions in this forum have been shifting around a lot. To the point where the newest (proper) HP calculator, the Prime, got it's own forum section. And therefore the user profiles and the calculators they use/own/collect are very different from 1992.

Therefore I (personally, only for me and to satisfy my curiosity) am very much interested to know what calculators are used and valued by today's active forum members. I don't care the least who has more, better, larger or more expensive ones than I have and I don't see this as any kind of comparison or competition!
